| '''Herzog:''' Well surely the blast that knocked the ship out of the slipstream and took down the whole planet's comm channels erased all the computer records.<br />

| '''Herzog:''' Of course it is.<br />

| '''Lieutenant:''' You think the records have been erased.<br />

| | Hiro: Kamal, nobody buys a whole chicken for a friend. Can you even cook?<BR> |
| '''Herzog:''' Like a new piece of Covenant technology capable of crippling an entire solar system's C&C channels?<br />
| | Kamal: I finished med school, how hard can cooking be?<BR> |
| '''Lieutenant:''' Although, if you're right about [[Troy]] -<br />
| | Hiro: Isn't raw chicken full of pathogens? Should it even be sitting on the counter that way? Oh, and I don't think our flash works.<BR> |
| '''Herzog:''' Then [[Harmony]] - Harmony is the instructive one.<br />
| | Kamal: What do you mean?<BR> |
| '''Lieutenant:''' Oh... what are you going to do?<br />
